Oscar- congrats, I just going through the same motions with a BT32 and an 8 foot powerstick.

(wish I had the BT48 I could work with a full sheet of plywood!) Oh well..

What kind of snags did you run into? I'm thinking about maybe the 4' version of the powerstick...but I think I just got all the "snags" out of my machine...so not sure I want to jump right into another project for the shopbot...would rather do some on the shopbot! Looks great...good job!

There nothing wrong with the PowerStick at all. It works great. My issues were with a few missing parts. Once Shopbot was informed, they shipped them out to me right away and I was able to continue with the installation.

Oscar,
Your pictures are great, they should be on the shopbot site like that. How accurate do you feel the powerstick is compared to the table that comes with it? I would like to go with the 8' power stick...but not sure if I would have the room to use it.

I'll let you know in the next day or two. I was asked to cut the VA3D Grape Mantel. It's about 5' long and 8"wide. It's cutting on a piece of cherry that's 6' X 10" X 1.5". I am roughing it now and will split the finishing pass today and tomorrow. Vibration isn't to bad considering the table practically floating. But it's there. I'm taking more pics as I go along. -oscar

Thanks looks great though...makes me want to bust out the credit card!

Mantel is done and the PowerStick performed flawlessly. Great job Shopbot!! -Oscar
